Princess Mononoke marked many firsts for Miyazaki. It was the first film of his to incorporate computer animation and was the first animated feature to gross more than 10 billion yen at the Japanese box office. The film is another in Miyazaki’s oeuvre which carries a central theme of the environment and features a strong female protagonist.

It was a more fluid period, when there were no distinctions between peasants and a samurai, when women were bolder and freer". View Release Page>>>
